Wingman OP?

Wingman with skull piercer is broke af!

  • @Ghost99ZuluSkullpiercer increases headshot damage. So let's compare pre s5 Wingman and the new Wingman(or the old Wingman).

    Note:- All calculations done when the player isn't wearing any helmet and doesn't take into account fortified/low profile debuffs and doesn't include fraction damage values.

    S4-
    Headshot multiplier- 2.1
    Headshot dmg=45x2.1=94(45 is base body damage here)

    S5-
    Headshot multiplier-2
    Headshot dmg=45x2=90

    With skull piercer:
    Headshot multiplier-2.25
    headshot dmg=45x2.25=101

    The difference between s4 wingman and s5 wingman(with skull piercer) is = 101-94=7 dmg

    It just has a slight headshot dmg increase(7 dmg to be exact). Nothing else was changed. It might feel like it's OP cuz a lot of people have started using it after the patch(my personal observation).

  • @Cj_beast1415 If a guy kills your whole squad with a Wingman, that shows how bad your squad was. Wingman requires skill, I rarely pick it up because I suck at using Wingman.
    Also, nice necro thread.

    @boy_Hoodle It does not no reg as much as people think, it's the aim and attempts to fire it to fast. I hated the gun for a while, was forced to use to and slowed down a bit. Landing shots with it can be destroy people.

    I don't use it in CQC, I use some place in the range between medium and short range fights. If you don't hit 1 head shot with it in CQC your dead to almost every other gun.

    I thought I was the only player in the world who was complete trash with the Wingman but when spectating a TM yesterday after being downed they missed nine successive Wingman shots in CQC.

    I just cannot hit with it, unless in the Firing range and I'm firing at dummies.

    @boy_Hoodle I don't think it is, it's a very difficult gun to use and use effectively. Most people won't use it.
